Although the introduction of biometric reports was conducted in late 2007 and early 2008, when it is only now beginning to get new technologies to Latin American countries, for example, this smartSTIK, a USB stick with biometric security.
The classic model used to encrypt the information is based on software, but since there are several examples that have shown that they can violate systems without any problem, this model has been lagging, whichever protect sensitive information by using biometric mechanisms, such as fingerprints (which is used by smartSTIK) or retina.
Just saw a smartSTIK, BIOMetrix manufacturing, production a week ago at work. The model which provides cover only 1GB and 2GB sizes.
However, if your pocket does not give us, we can make use of systems of physical protection of a USB (or at least to remove a virus from a usb). For my part i am still anxiously waiting for the arrival of a formal standard USB 3.0 that would use a new technology that could achieve speeds close to 1GB/second transfer.
